Walkies for Parkinson's 2026

Lovely 5 mile walk

Much more successful walk today 
From home via Foxholes, Shute Farm, Shearwater then home 5.2 miles 😁Peter, Linda and joined by Jessica.   
Daisy was carried through some muddy puddles - and we even saw lambs!!

AI route planning - more artificial less intelligent!

Another walk today
Was supposed to 5 miles across Wincanton from cale park to the sports ground off Moor Road then to the racecourse and back via Verrington to Cale park…..AI planned route (enough said 🫣😳🤔) never found the suggested clearly marked foot path from the rugby fields, but found and crossed 2 fields with impressive stiles with great yellow signage then the 3rd field all signs of a foot path disappeared.  

All very confusing 🫤 but had a lovely coffee and cake at the Somerset & Dorset rescue centre.  But with a short walk later with Betty we clocked up 4.5 miles.

Walking with friends

Some beautiful views across Warminster and Crockerton.  Enjoying a walk, a chat and raising funds for a cause close to our hearts

Why we are fundraising for Parkinson's UK

We're taking part in Walkies for Parkinson's to help fund specialist Parkinson’s care to make sure no one faces Parkinson’s alone.

When a person is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, the diagnosis never belongs to them alone. It is a reality that ripples through entire families, reshaping daily routines, future dreams, and emotional landscapes.


Parkinson’s is more than a medical condition; it is a daily, unpredictable thief.
